One out of five
Mexicans in the world lives in the United States. Two reports released by
the Mexican government show just how entangled the U.S. and Mexico are
today. The first report is "Migration in Mexico and the World,"
from the National Population Council. It says that over the last 40 years
"registered" immigration to the U.S. from Mexico exceeded 17
million. Remember, this is the figure for registered immigrants and does
not include illegals and the children of both legal and illegal
immigrants.

The second report
from the Bank of Mexico, revealed that in the first half of 2003 - for the
first time. Mexico is receiving more income from Mexicans settling in the
U.S. than from tourism and foreign investments!

Matricula Cards

The central
government of Mexico is lobbying state and local government authorities in
the U.S. to accept these cards just as they would a green card. It appears
to be a simple attempt to "legalize" an otherwise illegal alien:
enter the United States illegally and make your way to a Mexican
Consulate, where Mexican authorities issue you a consular ID card --
complete with a new, U.S. address.

Wells Fargo & Co.
said the number of bank accounts opened using the Mexican Matricula card
rose above 500,000 since the San Francisco bank pioneered the acceptance
of the card almost three years ago. The company said it is now opening an
average of more than 700 accounts a day for Hispanics using the Matricula
card, a seven-fold increase over the three-year period. Bankers from
Wells, Bank of America and other financial institutions are often at the
Mexican consulate courting customers who have just received their
Matricula cards. Wells Fargo also accepts the consular identification
cards from Guatemala and Argentina as valid identification for account
openings.

If You’re Down and
Out / Pick up a Senorita

A popular
website run by former Republican Representative Tom Alcieres from New
Hampshire is a one-stop shop of information for illegal immigrants in the
U.S. He even posts tips to unscrupulous U.S. men who might want to make
their living helping Mexicans get into the U.S. He titles this section:
The Ultimate Loophole: "So
you're an USA citizen making his living flipping burgers at McDonald's and
there are a gazillion Mexicans living in poverty. The object of the game
is to get as many Mexicans as possible into the USA by whatever means.
However, what's in it for you?

"Well,
here's the loophole: Under U.S. Code, Title 8 section 1401(g), if you have
a child by a Mexican señorita, the child is a USA citizen, even if the
birth takes place in Mexico. You need to sign some forms for the
consulate, and the kid gets a certificate of USA citizenship." He
goes on to explain that the American male will get lots of sex with many
hot young Mexican women, won’t have to marry any of them, and will get
tax deductions for dependent children. Oh, and he’ll be a hero of
course!

Immigrants Hate U.S.
Authority

A Mexican immigrant
leader in the U.S. says on deporttheborderpatrol.com, "There is no
need for the Border Patrol. If people from the south side of the river
decide they want to take up residence on the north side, who you gonna
call? Call your new neighbors and say, bienvenidos! The United States has
been described as a nation of immigrants. So, in all fairness to the
police officers, average police don't deserve to get killed nearly as much
as Border Patrol goons do. Some police officers sign up so they can serve
the people, accepting the job of enforcing the many unjust laws as a
required trade-off. That is a decision they have made and, while it is the
wrong decision, at least they aren't as bad as Border Patrol goons, which
sign up only out of greed and malice. Border Patrol goons only serve the
wants of bigots. Border Patrol goons are the scum of the Earth. "

While the border
patrol is busy trying to do their job in the midst of numerous ridiculous
procedural rules for dealing with illegal aliens, Immigrant groups are
planning lawsuits against various law enforcement agencies for violating
the rights of "undocumented workers". Fernando Garcia, director
of the Border Network for Human Rights told the El Paso Times, "There
have been a dramatic increase in the complaints we’ve received involving
possible wrongful searches and wrongful entries into homes, and possible
racial profiling by U.S. law enforcement agencies." The Border
Network is conducting their second "Campaign to Document abuse of
authority." One case of abuse cited by Human Rights groups is the
conviction of a border patrol agent for the molestation of an 8-year-old
Mexican girl. However, the border patrol agent, himself, was a Mexican and
the girls step father, which they fail to comment on.

The flagrant hateful
attitude that non-white immigrants from Mexico have for U.S. authorities
is not the only thing that poses a danger to American citizens. While not
all non-white Hispanics are involved in drug trafficking – even many
"innocent" immigrants are more than willing to provide smuggling
services in exchange for getting into the U.S. Families with children are
increasingly becoming favorite vehicles for moving drugs across the
border. More sympathy is given to families and women and children are less
likely to be considered as drug carriers.

Kerri Pepoy, an
intelligence analyst for the national Drug Intelligence Center speaking
about North Carolina said, "Mexican drug trade organizations have
essentially taken over the drug trafficking business from other
groups." Nationwide, almost half of all people charged with
federal drug offenses between 1984 and 1999 were Hispanic, according to a
1999 U.S. Department of Justice report. The DEA reports that 65 % of all
the cocaine that enters this country comes in from Mexico.

The North
American Free Trade agreement, backed by both Democrats and Republicans
caused a huge increase in the drug trade according to David Gaddis,
assistant special agent in charge of the DEA’s North Carolina
operations. "The
free trade agreement made it possible for the movement of thousands of
containers across the U.S. – Mexican border. It’s common for drugs to
be woven into those legitimate cargoes."

SSI for Illegals

Bush is working on a
plan to allow Mexicans who worked illegally in the U.S., but are now
living in Mexico – to receive Social Security benefits. A Social
Security office will be opened up in Mexico City where Mexicans can apply
for U.S. Social Security benefits. This would transcend not just from the
worker, but spouses and children could file claims if their parent or
husband/wife had worked in the U.S. and had social security taxes taken
out of their check.

Tracking down
some of the beneficiaries could prove difficult. $21 billion in Social
Security payments have not been able to be paid to hundreds of Mexicans
because they used false Social Security numbers for payroll deductions.
Some are promoting a similar social security numbering system between the
U.S. and Mexico so un-documented workers won't risk losing their benefits!

Educational Discounts

Another gain for
illegals is the campaign to allow them to attend state universities at the
in-state resident rate. Allies of the illegals have drummed up a lot of
sympathy for students who are illegals and even more sympathy for the
children of illegals who were no part of their parents' decision to come
here. But, these steeply discounted rates were clearly intended for legal
residents. It's wrong to give the cheap rate to someone who has no right
to be here, while an out-of-state U.S. citizen may have to pay four to 10
times as much.

While the United
States is spending millions to control illegal immigration, many states
and localities are working, in effect, to undermine immigration law and to
make illegal immigration more attractive and therefore more common. It
makes no sense.

Business Week
recently reviewed the negative impact immigration - along with
globalization - has in keeping hard-working Americans poor.

In its May 31, 2004
cover story "Working... and Poor," the financial magazine states
that a flood of immigrants, mostly from Mexico, is swelling the low-end
labor pool and throwing least-skilled Americans into direct competition
with people willing to work for pennies on the dollar.

Economists claim
globalization is responsible for about one-fifth of the decline in
blue-collar pay since 1973. As globalization accelerates, the unskilled
American worker is increasingly placed at a distinct disadvantage, and
when added with a torrent of immigration, this has shoved many hourly wage
occupations into a "worldwide, discount labor store stocked with
cheap temps, hungry part-timers, and dollar-a-day labor in India, Mexico,
and China." (I wonder how many will end up here from the tsunami
devastated Asia. Instead of helping them there - mark my words - thousands
will end up here)

More than 28 million
Americans earn less than $9.04 per hour, representing about 25% of the
workforce between the ages of 18 and 64 - many of these are elderly
widows. Of these millions, approximately 20% are foreign-born, mostly from
Mexico. Over the next decade, five of the ten fastest-growing jobs will be
of the menial, dead-end variety, including retail clerks, cashiers, and
janitors, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Curbing the flood
of unskilled immigration - both legal and illegal - would ease some of the
gravitational pressure on low-end paying jobs. According to a study
conducted by Harvard Professor George J. Borjas, Among his findings:

By increasing the supply of labor
between 1980 and 2000, immigration reduced the average annual earnings
of native-born men by an estimated $1,700 or roughly 4%.

Among natives without a high
school education, who roughly correspond to the poorest tenth of the
workforce, the estimated impact was even larger, reducing their wages
by 7.4%.

The 10 million native-born workers
without a high school degree face the most competition from
immigrants, as do the 8 million younger natives with only a high
school education and 12 million younger college graduates.

The reduction in earnings occurs
regardless of whether the immigrants are legal or illegal, permanent
or temporary. It is the presence of additional workers that reduces
wages, not their status.

Not Just the
Unskilled!

There are over
600,000 American registered nurses not working as nurses, and countless
other nurses who have become independent nurses. Why? It’s about the
money. Hospitals refuse
to pay nurses enough to keep American nurses interested in the job,
and refuse to hire independent nurses.

Instead of raising
the pay to fit the job, hospitals have decided to call what is really lack
of interest in the job for the pay being offered, a ‘shortage".
Hospitals would much rather have the cheaper indentured servant they can
have by hiring foreign nurses who fear deportation if they don't do
exactly as asked. All this alleged "shortage" has created some
new loopholes to be created that allow massive numbers of foreign nurses
to flood the US market.

Each year, 10% of
nurses, of the recently –graduated and of those who work in IMSS, ISSSTE
and the Secretaría de Salud [Mexican government health-care providers],
migrate to the U.S., Spain and the U.K. In the first five months of 2004,
1000 Mexican nurses went to the U.S., 200 to Spain and 50 to the U.K.

And it’s not just
those in the health care industry. The lowering of salary and the hiring
of non-white immigrants due to alleged worker shortages also applies to
many "white collar" jobs in the computer, data, and technician
industries.

While Americans Look
For Jobs / Some Cities Are Helping Illegals Find Jobs

A Day Labor Center is
a center that is taxpayer funded and operated by a city for the sole
purpose of facilitating the hiring of illegal aliens by employers.

Kathy McKee, an
anti-immigration activist said about these centers, "Let's
make one thing clear: Day labor centers are for the benefit of illegal
aliens…Phoenix blatantly thumbs its nose at federal law by illegally
building these centers for illegal aliens. INA § 274 states that
encouraging "an alien to . . . reside in the United States, knowing
or in reckless disregard of the fact that such residence is or will be in
violation of the law," or who "aids and abets the commission of
any of the preceding acts" has committed a federal felony. Obviously,
helping illegal aliens find work is "encouraging" them to
"reside in the United States," so why isn't the entire Phoenix
City Council, which voted unanimously for the day labor center, being
prosecuted and sent to jail? …Residents (near the center) complained of
increased loitering, littering, illegal soliciting, harassment, begging,
drug dealing, prostitution, public urination, intoxication, trespassing
and off-hours operations. The zoning board, as usual, ignored the
residents and voted 6-0 in favor of the proponents - all city employees or
open-border advocates, not one of whom lives near the labor center."

Rob
Hotakainen, a reporter for the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune, recently
wrote a real tearjerker about the need for Day Centers. Read on about poor
ole Juan. "Juan Huerta hoped it would be another lucky day in
America as he munched tamales at a picnic table in the parking lot of a
day-labor center, keeping a close eye on the white men who drove by in
their big pickups. (Note: Here is reporter Rob’s big attempt to make
you feel sorry for poor ole Juan. Aren’t all white men driving around in
$40,000 trucks? Sure, they are. (?) And those that are don’t really
deserve them - we’re supposed to believe) It was 7 a.m., and the men
were searching for Mexican laborers who would spend the day in the
108-degree sun doing roofing, painting, landscaping and cement work.
Huerta, who came to Phoenix two years ago, waited for the one employer who
might pay him $8 an hour, maybe even $10, in exchange for his specialized
carpentry skills. (Okay, here Rob goes again. Poor ole Juan - he sure
is having a rough day. He’s hoping to get paid a measly $8 to $10 an
hour for his specialized skills. Hmmm? I thought Mexicans are taking jobs
that white men don’t want. Aren’t there any white men out there with
specialized carpentry skills? Of course, there are - I know a few and they
wouldn’t hesitate to work in hot weather either. Then we are supposed to
conclude that Juan is being ripped off by being paid only $8 - $10 an
hour. Now I’m sure Rob doesn’t think this amounts to much and he no
doubt gets paid a lot more for the dribble he writes, but, $10 an hour is
slightly above average for many wage earners - even for many with college
degrees who live in rural areas such as school teachers, law enforcement
personnel, and business managers) He
called it good money, twice as much as he could earn in his native Mexico.
"I like America, good America," said Huerta, 25, speaking in
broken English’

Demise of the US

Manufacturing economy

10% of factory jobs
have been lost since 2000, continuing a steady decline of the country's
manufacturing sector. The decline of the nation's manufacturing sector has
been visible for decades. However, the trend has accelerated swiftly in
just the past several years.

Since the beginning of 2000, more
than 1.9 million factory jobs have been lost -- about 10 % of the
sector's work force.

50 years ago, 1/3 of U.S. workers
toiled in factories -- but little more than 1/10 of them do so today,
while 4/5 are employed in the service sector.

Manufacturing jobs are
increasingly being moved abroad as companies take advantage of lower
labor costs and position themselves to sell products to a growing
market abroad.

The consulting firm Economy.com
estimates that 1.3 million manufacturing jobs have been moved abroad
-- primarily to Mexico and East Asia -- since the beginning of 1992.

Bush Moves for Amnesty
of Mexicans

Arizona Sen. John
McCain and Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy are working together to draft
a bipartisan bill for comprehensive immigration reform to introduce in the
new session of Congress.

Almost one year ago,
Bush told of his idea of a guest worker program, just as he was entering
his campaign for re-election. Bush says he wants to balance the concerns
of those who say illegal immigration is costing taxpayer’s money, and
may even be a national security threat, with U.S. business needs for a
reliable source of low-cost labor. However, Bush who fence rides as good
as Clinton says he would not support a full amnesty of automatic
citizenship. Pandering to immigrant groups he says, "We want our
Border Patrol agents chasing crooks and thieves and drug runners and
terrorists, not good-hearted people who are coming here to wor." Bush
said. "People are coming to put food on the table; they're doing
jobs Americans will not do. And to me, it makes sense for us to recognize
that reality."

Mexico has Stricter
Rules than U.S.

Driver's licenses are
given to illegal immigrants in several states. At least 39 states are
considering bills on the issue, some in favor of licenses, some opposed.
The argument in favor is that the illegals are a fact of life in America,
they often need to drive to work, and licensing them will help make sure
they get auto insurance. Maybe, but it looks like an attempt to deflect an
immigration issue by converting it into a matter of auto safety.

The argument against
is that issuing driver's licenses to illegals opens the door to more and
more privileges rightly reserved for citizens. One is voting. The
Motor-Voter law of 1993, by tying voter registration to the issuing of
driver's licenses, allows illegals to vote. Many illegals vote now. With
driver's licenses, they may do so in very large numbers.

It is the closest
thing we have to a national ID card, and it opens a great many doors
closed to illegals. It establishes identity for benefit eligibility,
employment and credit.

In Mexico, however,
they are very meticulous when it comes to handing out benefits and have
strict immigration laws to keep those from South America from pouring in.
Illegal immigrants from South America are NOT welcome in Mexico and are
deported or encouraged to hurry on north to the U.S.

While illegal
immigrants in the U.S. can vote by simply signing up at the drivers
license bureau or through the mail in Mexico it is much different. In
Mexico, it has been that way for years. Only in hospitals are Mexico's
laws more lenient about checking immigration documents.

Chris Hawley, a
reporter for the Arizona Republic Newspaper writes, "To
see if the requirements are being enforced, a Republic reporter (a U.S.
citizen with legal residency in Mexico), went to six public agencies and
two schools in Mexico City to inquire about services and registering to
vote.

Almost every official
asked to see proof of Mexican citizenship or an FM3 visa, the document
that allows a person to live in Mexico. Often, it was the first question
asked.

"Every agency
has its own regulations, but generally, that's the rule. To receive these
government services, you have to prove you are in the country
legally," said Victoria Hernández, a representative for the Mexican
Secretariat of Government, which oversees immigration. "

Mexico Publishes Guide
to Assist

Illegal Aliens
Trespass into U.S.

The 32-page book, The
Guide for the Mexican Migrant, is published by Mexico's Foreign
Ministry. Using simple language, the book offers safety information for
border crossers, a primer on their legal rights and advice on living
unobtrusively in the United States. Dramatic drawings show 'Mexican
Migrants' wading into a river, running from the U.S. Border Patrol and
crouching near a hole in a border fence. On other pages, they hike through
a desert with rock formations reminiscent of Arizona and are caught by a
stern-faced Border Patrol agent.
The book is being distributed as a free supplement to El Libro Vaquero,
a popular cowboy comic book, in five Mexican states that send many Mexican
Illegal Aliens to the United States: Zacatecas, Michoacán, Puebla, Oaxaca
and Jalisco. The government plans to print 1.5 million copies.

The book comes with a
yellow disclaimer saying it does not promote undocumented immigration, and
it repeatedly warns against crossing illegally. But it gives no
information about the steps for seeking a legal U.S. visa. Seven pages are
devoted to migrants' legal rights after they are detained. The Mexican
government is encouraging illegal immigration. It shows the contempt that
the Mexican government has for our American laws.
